I’ve recently been studying the work and life of Dr. Weston Price who was a dentist from Ohio who lived in the early part of last century. He wanted to find out why some groups of people living a traditional lifestyle and eating a traditional diet (traditional in the sense that it’s what their ancestors [...]

Carne Adovada is a New Mexican dish that’s everywhere here. When we moved to Albuquerque a little over a year ago I went and got a breakfast burrito at a local place and saw that one of their burritos had Carne Adovada in it. I asked what it was and I remember the cashier had [...]

I dig shrimp. I lived for 5 years just off the coast of South Carolina and I learned to love these delicious little protein nuggets of the sea. There will likely be lots of recipes in the future that include shrimp. This one got mixed reviews. The Cavewife was not a big fan. The Cavekids were [...]

I made a meatloaf tonight that was full of primal goodness. It was a test recipe so I took notes but no photos. But next time I make it’ll be perfect and I’ll post a recipe. While it was cooking I fiddled around and came up with some ketchup that is amazingly delicious and tangy. [...]

These days you can get pretty much and fruit or vegetable at most grocery stores any time of the year. But, of course, that’s not the way it was just 100 years ago much less 100,000 years ago. We ate what was in season, what was ripe and ready to eat. With a little research [...]

While on our trip to Pros Ranch Market I also picked up some plantains. I’ve since learned that plantains aren’t the ideal primal food – they have lots of carbs, similar to a sweet potato - but they have a glycemic index of 38 (same as an apple) so not totally terrible. Anyway I’ve been craving [...]

One of the first recipes I adapted to the Caveman Diet was keftedes. They’re Greek meatballs and they’re fantastic! I did it for one of Mark Sisson’s primal contests this last summer. I had to make a few changes to traditional keftedes recipes and it seems I wasn’t able to please anyone with it. Those [...]

We went shopping recently at a very interesting place: Pros Ranch Market. I was told about the place by a former coworker and finally got around to going. He described it as a Mexican Wal-Mart and I think that’s pretty accurate. They had tons of incredibly inexpensive produce and lots of stuff you can’t get [...]

Tonight the cavefamily and I went shopping and I picked up a bunch of neato ingredients for a few of the recipes I'll be posting here. It took a bit too long and by the time we got home there wasn't time to make the stuffed Moroccan tomatoes or the B.L.A.S.T. salad. So I made some dressing for my salad tomorrow. Actually there's probably enough for about three or four salads. :)
